The knight reached for his Estus Flask and took a sip, its' bright liquid filled his body as he recovered from the burns that were gifted to him by a lunatic. He could only watch as two figures fought each other in the of darkness. Black orbs were unleashed from the dark talisman wielded by the duelist, but all were dodged by the justicar with ease. The trees and earth hit by the darkness withered away. Holding the talisman in the air, a dark fog surrounded the duelist… and just as the justicar saw this, she was moving, charging towards the darkness and ready to combat her enemy. Stabbing her rapier into the dark, the clash of metal could be heard echoing from the darkness, she had been parried by a target shield. A leg appeared out of the darkness and delivered a swift kick to the woman's stomach and sent her flying out of the fog. Laughter burst from the darkness as it disappeared, revealing the man inside.
"Do you think this is a joke? My honor has been challenged by your stupid duel, and you make a mockery of me?"
The robed figure pulled out a candle, and the smile behind the mask of the duelist shrouded in black leather disappeared. Lightning. The candle flickered above the justicar's blade as golden electricity surrounded the rapier, hungry for its' new opponent. Darkness. Her leg disappeared in an instant, devoured by the orb of darkness that was fired at her from a distance. Sir Lance watched in horror as the woman screamed in agony. She disappeared from sight and it was over.
"Well, she needs to work on maybe applying her enchantments before the enemy notices her, she may be called the lightning blade but she sure was slow!" The duelist chuckled.
The knight stood in pure disbelief. The duelist walked to the bonfire, and motioned for the knight to follow him. The knight stumbled forward.
"So, you're mute… but I assume you aren't stupid. How many years ago did you die?
The knight held up three fingers.
"Three years ago?"
The knight nodded in disagreement.
"Oh my, three months… weeks… days or whatever-ago? Well then, since you haven't been given an introduction to this land, and to the undeath, I
have the honor of giving it to you!"
